Be it known that we, llAltldfis A. M. \Y-

s'rnon, residing at Tar-ohm, in the eolllll) ol Pierce, and JAJUIS llnxnv .lheeitnix', lesl ling at Seattle, in the eounty oi hing, State of WVashington, and FRANK W. l) siding, at Portland. in the count ol' \lullnomall, State of Oregon, eitizens ol the l niled States ot Ameriea, have inven new and useful Improvements in Devices for Filling Receptacles, oi which the following is i a specification, reterenee being" had therein to the aeeompanying drawings.

This invention r -lates to and especially to tE-at class in which the liquid is poured through a tube into the receiving vessel, and has for its objeets to keep the pouring-can l'ree l'rom dripping the liquid in the tube to ilow into the reeeiving vessel when the valve is cut oil, thus leaving the tube empty; to allow the liquid to How quickly and evenly into the receiving; vessel without bubbles. and to provide a deviee which shall be quickly remova the p0uring-reeeptaele. We attain these objects by the deviees illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whieh-' Figure 1 is a side elevation of our device attaehed to a vessel, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof.

Similar numerals of reference refer to sitnilar parts throughout both the views.

Our invention is illustrated in the drawings as being mouthed jar 1. This jar has a cast screwthread 2 formed on its net-k, on whieh the clamping-head 3 screws. The top of this (.lanmime-hen I is cut away to receive the flanged base 4 ol our device and to clamp it down against the packing-washer on gasket 5 on the top of the jar 1. has a i lat top 6, which closes the vessel. The jar is tilled through an ordinary inlet, (indieated at 7.) An outletspassage 8 leads through the top 6, at one edge thereof, to the horizontal tube 9, to one end of which it is connected. Anothersmaller passage 10 conneets the other end of the tube 9, through the top 6, to the inside of the jar 1. This passage 10 is to allow air to flow into the jar as t he liquid flows out.

The tube 9 is approximately as long as the diameter ble from led certain pouring" deviees, 1

; to allow all attaehed to the top oi a wide- The flanged base 4 l tube ll passingcompletely through it from end toend and protruding out at eaeh end. The ends of the tube 9 are supplied with shilling-boxes 12, through which the tube 11 passes freely without allowing any ol' the liquid to eseape around it. The holes l3 are made into the tube ll at a point near the passage S, and the eollar I4 is secured theret elose to said holes li 'hen the tube is not being used, the holes 133 are within the studing-box 1'. and the collar ll ispressed against the end of the tube 9. so that no liquid can gel l'rom the tube 5) or the jar l; but when the tube It is pulled back the holes litare within the tube 2) and the liquid can l'low from the jar I through the passage 8 into the i tube 0 and into the-tube ll, it the jar is tipped sullieiently. The tube 11 is open at both, ends, and the outlet end may be bent in any convenient manner. A small hole 1.5 is i made in the tube 1] within the tube 5), but

near the upper end of the tube 9.

The two circular washers or flanges 16 are the upper seenred to the lube ll outside oi end of th tube E), and the l'orked end 17 of the operating-lever 18 engages between the flanges 16 to force the tube it in one direction or the other. The operating-lever 18 is pivoted near its center to a projection from the top 6 and is bent so as to be conveniently located tor the thumb to press. If there is a I handle on the jar, the best shape is that shown a in the drawings; but we do not limit ourselves to the shape of this operating-lever. A J spring it) is secured to the lever 18, so as to always tend to keep the tube 11 pushed forward with the collar 14 against the end of the tube 9.

When the lever 18 is pressed and the jar is tipped, the liquid flows out of the j a! through i the passage 8, the tube 9, the holes 13, and

the tube 11 and air flows into the jar 1 through the upper end of the tube 11, the hole 15, and the passage 10.

()u rinvention is applicable to a large variety of uses such as oil-cans, druggists chemical bottles, and n'iany others-and may be changed in its dimensions, form, &e., to be adapted to the particular requirements to which it is to be applied. be-ot any desired shape at its ends and may be rotated so that its end may point in any of the top (3 and has the smaller ;'direction.

The tube 11 may Hsving' claim 1s sure for said vessel,- zt'oiosed tube delineat ed with said vessel through said closure, 9.

In combination with s vessel, of a 010- sure'foi" said vessel, e'oiosed tube secured to said closure and communicating-theifewith by passages near its ends, a smal ier inner-tube passing throughend extending beyond and longitudinally movable in said outer tube and open from end to endsnd having outletpsssages therein connecting the interior of lhe outer tube w th the interior of the inner described our invention, Wi e-t wef see see tiibe when said innertube is in its operative osition but being removed from connection wi'riths'eid "outer tube'when notinits opera tive position-,'-and a collar secured to said innor tube adjacent to and adapted to press ega'nst the lower end of :the outer tubeto prevent the leakage of liquid from said outer tube around said inner tube when said inner tube is not in operative position.
